About this property

Secluded, Private Vacation Beach Home on Chappaquiddick Island, Walk To Beach.

You will feel "at home" in this beach inspired, privately owned ranch on Chappy.
The architect-designed 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath house is tucked away on 6 acres of secluded grassy meadows and red cedar woods.

You can take a short walk to Katama Bay to swim, kayak, barbeque, relax on the beach. Or you can take a drive out to "The Gut" for breathtaking pristine vistas.
If you feel like a little more hustle & bustle, catch a ride on the 59 sec (even faster with the right tide) Chappy Ferry to Edgartown for ice cream, dining and shopping.
You get to choose the best of both worlds…

The Home
The open floor plan makes entertaining easy and if you love to cook, the gourmet kitchen has everything you need...just bring your groceries. The entertainment room on the lower level will keep you busy on a rainy day.

The Main Floor
The spacious living room with vaulted ceilings and original "old barn" wooden beams creates an open and airy feel with lots of natural light. The large beach stone fireplace separates the living and dining rooms. Two hallways connect three bedrooms all with vaulted ceilings and private bathrooms. The Master Bedroom is at the south-west end of the house with an en-suite bathroom.
The gourmet kitchen is a cook's delight with lots of kitchen gadgets including coffee options - Nespresso Original & Vertuo, Kuerig and Krups Drip/Grinder.
The office, adjacent to the dining room, has a wi-fi printer should you need to work while on Chappy.
The sunroom, accessible from the kitchen porch, has two beach bikes and 4 beach chairs which guests are welcome to use. Please note *BIKING WILL BE AT YOUR OWN RISK*.

The Outdoor Deck & Porch
French doors off the living room lead to a large deck with outside dining, chaises, an outdoor shower and a hot tub.
If you want a "boma" experience (home version of a safari boma) walk over to the back yard "boma" and relax around the fire.

The kitchen porch is 'grill heaven" with your choice of a Blackstone griddle, a Primo smoker and a Weber gas grill.


The Lower Level.
There are two bedrooms, a spacious open den with 2 daybeds (twin size) and a large new bathroom on the LL.
The Family Entertainment /TV Theater/ Play Room (the surround sound is awesome) with a billiards table, ping pong, foosball, chess board, dart board and a cupboard full of games, is also downstairs.

Whether it's a romantic retreat for two or a family stay for twelve, just pack your bags and come to the Vineyard. You'll love it here and hopefully you will be "Chappified" by the end of your stay.

We welcome you to be our guests.

Splendid home for a family gathering.

There were eight of us, three couples and two singles. Each had their own room. We made great use of the numerous offerings because - it rained the whole time, and the house was our playground. I hope we can come back.

Can’t wait to return!

From the beginning, prior to our stay, Mitch was extremely responsive! We have been to the Vineyard many times, but this was our first stay on Chappy and it was a dream. The home was immaculate, expansive, and the perfect spot for our group to settle right in and feel at home. We cannot wait to return to this home next year for our annual Vineyard trip. Highly recommend!

Family vacation on Chappy

Our family had a fabulous vacation and stay in this wonderful house on Chappaquiddick! We had plenty of room to relax and enjoy all the amenities this home had to offer. The game room was a big hit! We took our truck and explored all of the beaches on chappy - absolutely beautiful. The home was beautiful decorated and curated and we would love to come back! Highly recommended!

perfect for extended family

this house worked perfectly for us - an extended family of 4 adult couples and two toddlers. the basement bedrooms/bath/play area allowed separation in the evening and early morning for early to bed/early to rise young family. comfortable living/dining/kitchen space and enormous private yard. we had a wonderful stay!

July 2023 visit

House is beautiful, large, and modern. It has every amenity to enjoy Martha’s Vineyard. Full kitchen, hot tub, bikes, ping pong, darts, pool table. Chappaquiddick is very remote, and a respite from the more touristy big island. Beds are particularly great.

Amazing property and outstanding host

The host/property owner was outstanding. He was in constant communication and shared a property guide that was very helpful. The house was very clean, ample, beautiful and well taken care of. I loved the privacy of the property and proximity to the beaches and the ferry. The stay at the property met all of my expectations and we are definitely coming back this or next year. Thumbs up to Mitch for being an exceptional host!

Amazing Stay at Chappy House

Chappy House was the perfect venue for our Martha's Vineyard Girl's Trip. The house is lovely and lively with fun decorations and lots of room to relax and regenerate. The house is equipped with everything that we needed and clear instructions and guidance for appliances and other procedures. We gathered from several states and had a great time. Mitch was such a great communicator, his responses were always timely and helpful. The minor items we reported were answered and responded to timely. We would love to visit Chappy House again.

Happy on Chappy

Awesome house very privately sited just minutes to some of the most gorgeous beaches in MA! Extremely well equipped kitchen for gourmet cooks! We especially enjoyed the flattop grill and ceramic smoker on one of two decks! We had a few issues early in our stay. The owner Mitch and his maintenance person were on it immediately & communicated with us through the process. Layout of house was great, beds were super comfy, the hot tub, fire pit & outdoor shower were really nice extras. If you are looking for privacy, serene setting on Chappy, definitely put this house on your list!

Wonderful oasis

Rented this lovely home with a group of friends to attend a wedding in Edgartown. It surpassed all our expectations. We have rented many homes through vrbo and this was one of the best. When we walked through the door, we were immediately impressed by its warmth and charm. It's very well equipped from the kitchen appliances to the recreation area on the lower level. The grounds have lovely touches - the swing, firepit, hot tub, multiple outdoor seating areas. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and the bathrooms were all nicely done. The home is accessible to some beautiful walks to the beach and is a quick ride to the ferry with access to Edgartown. Mitch couldn't have been a better host. He was always available to answer questions and a delight to work with. In summary, would rate this home 10/10 and wouldn't hesitate to rent it again if we are in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Mitch Reiter

Host profile image
I’ve owned this home for 23 years. It’s my “happy” home as I come here to unwind, rewind and reset when I am not running my children's summer camp in the Pocono Mountains of NE Pennsylvania (camptowanda.com).
I hope you find your stay at the house as wonderful as I always do. All I ask is that you take care of my home as I would yours.

Have a great stay and get ready to be HAPPY on CHAPPY! Mitch

Why they chose this property

The Island of Chappaquiddick is unique. So close, yet far enough away to feel incredibly special. If you want to escape from everything, you’ve found the right place. If you want to enjoy the excitement and life of Edgartown and the main island of Martha's Vineyard, it's only a 50 second (yes, I’ve timed it) ferry ride to town. Chappy is a special place…you will love it here, of that I can promise.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything yet secluded on 6 acres of peace and quiet. Updated home with everything you need. Romantic or family time, this home comes fully equipped with modern electronics and appliances. And if you love Alexa, she’s there to answer your questions.
